Attacking A Cashier, Order Screens Because You’re Unhappy With Your Food Joins Long List Of Customer Overreactions

Although staff offered to make her another sandwich or give her a refund, the woman refused and allegedly knocked over three monitors, threw items off the counter, and went behind the counter to assault the cashier, the police report says.
